The Anglo-allied and Prussian armies were separated by previous victories the French had won([Quatre Bras]? and Ligny?), but a careless blunder on the part of Napoleon allowed them time to regroup and attack. The allies destroyed Napoleon's resistance and the French fled. Shortly after this defeat, Napoleon lost his throne and was exiled to Saint Helena, where he spent the rest of his life.
